TALENTED Leeward Islands all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall has admitted that he is desperate to earn a spot in the West Indies team and willing to do whatever it takes to make that dream a reality.The 24-year-old player has been one of the region’s brightest prospects in recent years having notched several successful domestic cricket seasons.
In the most recent limited overs competition Cornwall picked up a total of 10 wickets for 313 runs and amassed 251 runs with a highest score of 74.
The player also shone for the regional team during the West Indies A tour of Sri Lanka in October of last year where he claimed 23 wickets with his off-spin, including a career-best eight for 108 in the opening game in Colombo.
Cornwall has, however, failed to secure a call to the senior team, with many speculating that his omission has been due to his widely documented weight issues.

weight didnt hamper him in Sri Lanka...but I guess the air is thinner there than the rest of the world.
Talk about discrimination...what century are we in.
You cant not pick somebody because you perceive then as not being successful because they are fat, while they are successful despite being fat.
In fact he is more successful than those who you would pick because you think they are thin and should be successful under your warped concept.
So fugging 19th century.
JUST PICK ON CRICKET. If he too fat then he cant take wickets and cant make runs. But he making runs and taking wickets so he is obviously not too fat for that.
PICK on CRICKET ALONE.
Cornwall man has more staying power than most of his peers. He has sharp reflexes,looks so easy in the slips (ala mi boy hooper) bowls long spells in hot humid conditions. Bro just do cardio, light weights, swimming, flexibility exercises, and proper diet. Heavy weights once a week and in 6 months you will be okay. And no KFC.
This man hits the ball so hard without even trying. That fierce and easy cover drive, hard enough to pass between a mans legs

So if he is doing that NOW why does he have to get small to do what he is doing now.
You as the selectors are contradicting yourselves and engaging in some weird perceptive logics.
